Before going to do this,first you checkout your firmware version through(menu\settings\update service\software version) your phone and compare with Farmanager(FarManager + SEFP ALL CIDS + jdflasher\Plugins\REST) REST files.
To perform this we need the following softwares:
DL LINK:->
(a) FAR manager with plugins.HERE
(b) XS++ (Sony Ericsson Customization tool).HERE
(c) SETool 2 Lite.HERE
(d) USB drivers.HERE
First step is to install USB Flash Drivers:
- Remove the battery of ur phone and sim.Make sure u have at least 10 MB free space on ur phone.
- Now reinsert the battery.
- Connect the USB end of cable to PC and Do NOT connect the other end to ur phone.
- Open XS ++ & Click connect, Hold the button ‘C’ in your phone’s keypad and now connect the USB cable to the phone (DO NOT LEAVE THE ‘C’ BUTTON IMMEDIATELY).
- Windows will detect a new hardware and "INSTALL NEW HARDWARE" wizard pops up.
- Release the 'c' button. In the wizard click "NO, NOT AT THIS TIME" and click "NEXT".
- Choose to install from a specified location and click "NEXT". Under "SEARCH FOR THE BEST DRIVERS TO INSTALL" check "INCLUDE THIS LOCATION IN SEARCH".
- Under "BROWSE" choose the path to the folder USB Flash Driver in the CD.
- Now click next and let the windows install the driver.
- After installing the driver, close XS++ and disconnect phone and turn it off in case it has switched on.
- Remove battery for 2 seconds and re-insert it (to refresh your phone).
- Now your phone is ready to be flashed.
Second Patch MAIN Firmware:
- we need to patch our MAIN firmware to make it compatible with FAR plugin.
- For this choose phone type according to your phone, remove SIM and connect your phone with SETool 2 Lite.
- Click [Add] button on SETool 2 Lite select the file according to your phone model, in my case, ‘w550_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw’ (for W550i CID49) .
- Now hit flash . 5 flashblocks will be loaded in 5 seconds!!!).
- If it hangs on 3 out of 5 wait for a min and then click STOP.Now our MAIN is patched.
- Close XS++, unplug phone and re-insert battery to refresh.
Listen Guys after patching MAIN Firmware,the phone will not switch on.

Third Acessing W550i FS wid Far manager:
Now open FAR manager program. Press F11 and then select SEFP plugin. in the following screen select…
According to the SEFP plugins the screen may change.
- Here for my w550i I select Device:DCU60, Speed: 921600 Boot Script: According to fone model (w550_w600_CID49).
- Now Enter The MATRIX!!!
- Connect your phone as we do in flashing…(Press and hold 'C'button. your fone should get detected.
- After a few seconds, a screen will show you two folders, FLASH and FS.
- Note that the window is divided into two… the left side represents your phone contents.
- The right side represents your hard drive contents… currently inside FAR manager folder.
- Now double click on FS and wait for a couple of minutes till it breaks into your FileSytem.
- Now you are inside the den!!! All files that govern your phone’s functionality are right before your eyes.
Fourth Installing drivers:
On entering FS, u should see 5-6 folders..
For
- camera drivers: ifs\settings\camera.
- display drivers : ifs\settings\display .
- acoustic drivers: ifs\settings\acoustic
Delete the acoustic driver,camera drivers&display drivers folder by selecting it and press F8.U can have a back up of it by dragging it to the right side and copying it on ur hard disk.(bcoz if ur new driver is not supported to ur phone then u can reinsert the driver to ur phone)
- Pressing Alt+F2 allows u to access ur hard drive on the right hand screen..
- For copying select all the files by pressing Shift+Arrow keys.
- And then drag all the files to ur phone(left hand screen)..
- Now, that we are finished with our operations, we need to shutdown the loader.
- For this keep on clicking ‘..’ (root of folder)(on the left hand screen) until it asks you to shutdown CSFS loader.
- Click yes and close FAR manager, and unplug phone. Reinsert battery to refresh.
Fifth UNPATCHING MAIN
- The final step is to un-patch the MAIN firmware.
- Again, open FAR manager program, and connect phone, the same way as before.
- This time goto FLASH instead of FS.
- Now your inside FLASH.
- On the right side, you are in FAR manager folder.
- Goto Plugins folder and then to REST.
- You see a number of files… with prefix ‘REST_’ followed by your phone’s firmware version in Farmanager(FarManager + SEFP ALL CIDS + jdflasher\Plugins\REST) .
- Select the appropriate file of your MAIN firmware (rest_W550_R4CB020) and drag it to anywhere on the left side.
- Click copy there after flash, after the operation,close FAR manager and unplug your phone.
